Today we remember the crucifixion… On the cross Jesus said, “It is Finished.” (John 19:30) FINISHED – PAID IN FULL. For those who place their faith in Christ, all the bad things we have done or will do, are paid for in full, by the blood of the Lamb who gave his life for us on the cross. Do you wonder if you are lovable? Do you wonder if he really can forgive you of your sins? Does your guilt lie to you? Psalm 103:10-12 answers these very questions: “He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our […]

I LOVE celebrating Easter – the Resurrection of Jesus my Savior and Lord! Here are some of our spiritual – and not so spiritual traditions! First, the not so spiritual…matching clothes. I have no idea why I ever started this tradition but I started it and I guess I’ll do it until the kids complain. Lol! Easter 2004 – just the boys were matching Easter 2006 – the entire family now matching! Easter 2007 Easter 2008 Easter 2009 Easter 2010 Easter 2011 Easter 2012 – the year Alexis got a big boo boo on her face while knocking out her […]

We hope you had a wonderful Easter remembering and celebrating our Risen Savior. Here’s a few pictures from our day. In the pictures below, Alexis had made a surprise video for her brother {expressing her love} and we were playing it for him on the television. Then we made our traditional Resurrection Rolls for breakfast. In the directions for the Resurrection Rolls, I mention that it’s very important that you get the seams closed…here’s what happens if you don’t! lol! #FAIL But they tasted good! Then off to church we went. After church we went to my parent’s house for […]

Today we remember. (Taken from Matthew 27) We remember… the betrayal for 30 pieces of silver the flogging the crown of thorns the purple robe the sign “Hail, King of the Jews!” the strike on Jesus’ face the crowd shouting “Crucify Him!” the long walk to Golgotha carrying the cross the nails in his hands the nails in his feet DARKNESS the words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” the temple curtain torn in two from top to bottom the earth trembling the guards exclaiming “Surely he was the Son of God!” […]

Our Easter Traditions include: Easter Breakfast – Resurrection Rolls Every year we make these Resurrection Rolls on Easter Morning for Breakfast – they are quick, easy and taste great! Here’s my kids making them 4 years ago at our old house. And here they are making them 3 years ago! And here they are last year – just one week prior, Alexis had knocked out her two front teeth in a wagon accident So sad. These are so fun because when the rolls are done baking – they are empty inside… JUST like […]

Alexis still has a skid mark down her face from her wagon accident With the start of the new series, I didn’t get a chance to post pictures from Easter. For those who read about me oversleeping last year, the good news is my alarm did go off this year! Lol! We had a little easter egg hunt and made resurrection rolls before heading off to church! After church we went to my parents house for the rest of the day! My mom always has beautiful baskets for the kids. He is Risen!!! Walk with the King, It’s Women […]

Pause for a moment…Be silent. Today we remember. (Taken from Matthew 27) We remember… the betrayal for 30 pieces of silver the flogging the crown of thorns the purple robe the sign “Hail, King of the Jews!” the strike on Jesus’ face the crowd shouting “Crucify Him!” the long walk to Golgotha carrying the cross the nails in his hands the nails in his feet DARKNESS the words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” the temple curtain torn in two from top to bottom the earth trembling the guards exclaiming “Surely he was the Son of God!” […]

Christ came so that we could live free. Visit me today over at TheBetterMom.com where we discuss Dealing With Betrayal. Walk with the King,

As we begin to think about Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday – I am drawn to I Corinthians 15. It is a fascinating chapter not only about Jesus’ resurrection but also about the believer’s resurrection! What will our bodies be like in heaven? Just think about the most beautiful woman you have ever seen on earth – she is under the curse of sin! If we saw Adam and Eve most likely it would take our breath away – they were created perfect. And if they saw us – they might be in shock! The Bible does not give us a lot […]

This sweet family photo from last Easter is deceiving. It appears that we have it all together – let me beg to differ lol! At first glance, you see we are all matching…this is our family “thing” – we always color coordinate for the holidays. This year’s theme is navy blue, tan and white. BUT previous to this picture being taken – we had mass chaos in our home because of ME! Here’s how the night before Easter morning went: I had thought through every step Saturday night. I felt very prepared. I laid out everyone’s clothes, packed our bags for the […]

Every year we make these Resurrection Rolls – they are quick, easy and taste great! Here’s my kids making them 3 years ago at our old house. And here they are making them last year! These are so fun because when the rolls are done baking – they are empty inside… JUST like Jesus’ tomb! You need just 5 ingredients: crescent rolls, marshmallows, sugar, cinnamon and butter Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb. Each child takes one marshmallow. This represents the body of Christ. Dip the marshmallow in the butter […]
